This window lets you select a range of headers
to load and display.
From this window you can select a range of headers
to display and save and load the list of headers.
Loading only a range might be necessary if you
downloaded a lot of headers. Using the ôQuick-Splitö or the ôSelect by groupö
function is a quick way to split the headers in smaller parts.
By default the whole range is always selected,
so simply pressing the ôViewö button will load the headers.
Note: Great efforts have been made to minimize both the time required to load
headers and the size they occupy in memory. Still, the speed at which %title%
will load headers depends on several factors, including the amount of headers
to load, the speed of your computer and its hard drives and the free memory
available.
How-to: Manually selecting a range of headers
To select a range of
headers manually simply use the scrollbars to select the first and last message
in the range you want to select.
How-to: Select a range
using ôQuick-Splitö
Quick-Split allows
you to quickly select a range of message for viewing. It lets you select which
part of a defined set to load.
An example: if you
select the item ôPart 1 of 2ö in the Quick-Split menu, the headers will be
divided in two parts and the range will be set to load the first half of the
headers.
You can then view
these headers. When you are done, you return to this window, and selecting ôPart
2 of 2ö áwill
automatically select the second half of the downloaded headers and you can then
view those.
There are options to
split the headers in 2, 3, 4, and 5 parts. This is really useful when you
download more headers than you can actually load in memory.
How-to: Select a range
using ôSelect by groupö
If you download
headers from several different newsgroups, the name of the 25 first newsgroups
will be added to the ôSelect by groupö menu.
You can then select
the range of headers that belongs to a single group simply by going to the ôSelect
by groupö menu and choosing the desired newsgroup.
Hint: A disabled (grayed) menu means that all the
downloaded headers belong to the same group.
How-to: Save the list
of headers
If you want to keep
the list of headers to review them at a later time, you can save them using the
ôSave header listàö from the ôHeadersö menu.
Hint: Make sure you have enough disk space when
saving the list.
Hint: When saving the list several files are
saved. Make sure not to delete any files that belong to the set or you will not
be able to reload the headers.
Note: When you close the Headers load range window, the ôlast visitö pointer
will be set allowing %title% to keep track of new messages available in the
newsgroups you downloaded from.
To prevent the updating of this pointer, click
on the ôCloseö button while pressing the ôShiftö key.
